All in all we had 125 registered athletes. Patrick Woodruff, former UNC swimmer and a TAC-OSB masters swimmer, was the overall winner in just under 21 minutes. Kim Rice, training for an English Channel crossing in 2010, was the female winner in 23 minutes.

Our only problem was one woman who was a first-timer, who showed up late (after the start), and then sidestroked or backstroked the entire course. We kept a kayak or surfboard with her to ensure she made it.

I'm a big fan of outdoor sports and work as a triathlon and swim coach in Cary, North Carolina. I celebrate life with my wife Bri, my son JuniorAwesome, and my dog Tassie. We visit the beach or mountains when time and circumstance permit.
